Overview
In the twilight of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial court is plagued by corruption as tyrants rule over the land. With the Manchurians preying on a weakened empire, war is imminent. To save the victims from their suffering, sorceress Jade Raksha fights the soldiers that oppress people for their own gain. As payback, local government officials decide to pin the murder of Governor Zhuo Zhonglian on Jade, turning her and the members of her cult into wanted fugitives for a crime they didn’t commit.

Viewing Notes
Been looking forward to this.
Loses steam in the second half and doesn’t utilize the witch nearly enough. Fan Bingbing is stunning in the role. A few times it looks like they purposely had her appear like Brigitte Lin.
Ultimately s frustrating watch for all the poor decisions made by the characters. Still a gorgeous movie to watch.
